IDENTIFICATION: T9 and earlier T-series drives are separate products; identify the label SKU and USB generation rather than relying on the family name.

Format, capacity and compatibility

Product / part IDSamsung Portable SSD T9, 2 TB, MU-PG2T0B/AM (black regional SKU)
InterfaceUSB 3.2 Gen 2x2, up to 20 Gb/s, over USB Type-C. USB-C denotes the connector, not guaranteed support for the 2x2 data mode.
PerformanceManufacturer maximum sequential read/write speeds are each up to 2,000 MB/s. Achieving this rate requires an appropriate USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host, cable and workload; other USB hosts negotiate a slower supported mode.
NAND / enduranceThe cited consumer specification does not publish the NAND type or a TBW endurance rating for this SKU.
CompatibilityUSB data host required. Samsung lists Windows, macOS and Android support; system-version, filesystem and device power limits remain host-specific. Reformat only after making a verified backup.
Thermal / enclosure caveatDynamic thermal management may reduce throughput during sustained transfers. The stated peak is not a guaranteed continuous write rate or an endurance metric.

Handling and preservation

Use a data-rated cable, safely eject, and avoid heat and impact. Preserve the original label and package details; keep multiple verified copies on independent media. Hardware encryption and a portable enclosure do not replace a recovery plan, and an unpowered SSD should not be treated as permanent storage.
